Sargé-sur-Braye (pronounced as /fr/;) is a commune in the French department of Loir-et-Cher, administrative region of Centre-Val de Loire, France.
The commune is bathed by the Braye and the Grenne rivers, which join here before leading as the Braye to the Loir. The town is a part of the canton of Le Perche. It is bordered to the north by Cormenon, to the south by Savigny-sur-Braye, to the east by Épuisay and to the west by Saint-Calais.
Between 29 January and 8 February 1939, more than 3,100 Spanish refugees fleeing the collapse of the Spanish Republic under Franco, arrived in Loir-et-Cher. Faced with a lack of buildings to welcome them (the stud farm at Selles-sur-Cher had been used), 47 villages provide accommodation,[2] including Sargé-sur-Braye.[3] The refugees, essentially women and children, were subjected to a strict quarantine and vaccinated. Mail was limited. Supplies, though lacking variety and cooked the French way, were, however, assured.[4] In the spring and summer, the refugees were regrouped at Bois-Brûlé (commune of Boisseau).[5]
